An exceptional mid 18th century tripod table attributed to James Allan of Fredericksburg. The solid dished and scalloped mahogany top supported on a birdcage support above a pierced tripod base with acanthus scrolls and unusual twisted foliate tips, on three cabriole legs with pierced work and the original castors.

My clients are thrilled, and so am I I am an interior designer in Portland, Oregon, USA, and I had been looking for the perfect chest for a client's entry for several years. After seeing a charming 18th century French commode at Nicholas Wells Antiques from a newsletter he emailed me, I emailed a photo of the chest to my clients. The clients LOVED it, but were a bit hesitant to order an antique from England. Nicholas Wells made the cartoning and shipping absolutely painless for my clients, and the beautiful commode is now happily ensconced in their entry. I can't say enough good things about how easy it was to work with Nicholas, and how beautiful the chest looks in their home. They are thrilled, and so am I. - 11/03/19

An emporium with a diverse range of antique furniture & collectibles. We acquired a Georgian drum table from Nicholas Wells Antiques website and were afforded a most professional and comprehensive service by Nicholas from the point of sale right through to the delivery of the item. - 27/01/19

A gracious and professional approach I have recently bought a small two tier laquered table from Nicholas Wells. My experience was entiirely satisfactory: Nick accurately described the item and had it repolished to my requirements within the timeframe I had asked for. The table was then shipped to Rome where it landed safely.
Overall, dealing with Nick was a much pleasant experience, even if compared to the many reputable dealers (and auction houses) I have been doing business with, as a longtime collector. He has much knowledge and impeccable taste for both collection and decoration items as well as a gracious and professional approach. I hope to deal with him again! - 20/01/19
